Rex Clinkscales is just one of the dozens of young circuit grinders trying to make his way from the minor leagues to the Big Show, and after his recent win at the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit Harrah's Philadelphia Main Event, Clinkscales is ready to add a bracelet to his jewelry collection.

We caught Clinkscales using some of his patented post flop aggression to take down an early pot, after an opponent raised his big blind to 775. After defending with a flat, Clinkscales checked the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, giving the other player an opening to bet 600. Despite the highly unusual betting pattern employed by his opponent, Clinkscales was unfazed, and he announced himself all in for his last 3,500 or so.

With pain etched across his face, the other player flashed his {A-Spades}{K-Spades} to the table before mucking the beaten big slick.

"What he show?," asked Clinkscales, turning the needle just a bit. "Oh, ace-king." He then tabled his own {A-Hearts}, leaving his opponent to wonder if he had made the correct play.
